We Are Grateful, Seymour Hersh

It appears that the gambit played this weekend by US military chiefs and Seymour Hersh in an effort to prevent Bush from attacking Iran with nuclear weapons has succeeded: Hersh: Nukes Unlikely Vs. Iran:

"And as I write, they (Pentagon planners) are going to come back to the president with a formal recommendation that they take this (tactical nuclear weapons) option out of the plan. And, if it doesn't happen, some people claim they will actually resign over the issue."

And all that, says Hersh, means the option will probably be dropped: "People think so. You can't cross — if the Joint Chiefs of Staff come to you and say, 'This is a no-go,' he has to stop. He can't overrule the military."

Never mind Jesus. Sy Hersh has Saved us.
